I was approach for a "client" looking to buy a house for 3M$, I asked for proof of funds and he send a pdf under his name from a Bank of America Bank account for 10M$. then he start pretending he wanted to buy a second home here in Miami, he was in California. Then he sent a screen shot for a trade that he made investing 235000 and gain $45000 and offer me if I helping invest in real estate he will help me invest in bitcoin. he sort sending the information and websites/wallet (trust wallet) of how to make the investment. He advice to start with 500$. and on the website app he advice inside trust wallet he show me I made 100$ from those 500$. So I Believed the investment system was acurret. I did not took the funds put because he advice it was a safe place better than banks, and also every time to take funds out it charge you fees. Next trade was for $1000 and I made $200. then $5000 and I made $1000 and on the app was showing the amount of fund I was doing. Finally I though this is working I am going to add all the assets I have. Then I spoke with him on a phone call, we talk about the house he was looking to buy and that he will be coming in person to see the houses, he will be telling me 2 weeks in advances the trip plan. So I sold my car and add a total off $17000 and then he stop answering me the whatsapp, for 2 week I texted him and he was seeing the text because it was in blue, then I try during that time to take the funds out of the platform but it was saying under audit status, and that happened for a 7 day period. then I new this was not going well, so another friend from school that I know from years I told him the situation, he went into his system with my trust wallet details and saw that the trading app was a scam, and also other people has been scam as well. he also advice to report this person, but as of his advice it seems that he was also using a fake name.

I went to a "Clifford O. Davis'" facebook page who specializes in cryptocurrency, or bitcoin investing. It sounded interesting, so I sent a

message asking how to get started in investing in his business which I later found out was (Expertfxtrade). Someone immediately

messaged me back with details involving the company and their policies. When I googled the business, it seemed legit, (should have

dug deeper), so I went through the process of investing over $2000 in the company over the course of 2 weeks. My first investment

was for $500. I was instructed to purchase bitcoin through Cash app and send it to a Frank Brandon at $frank5669. I was also

instructed to open up an account with "Expertfxtrade" through which my funds would be added for trading. I did that and monitored

my earnings which were growing rapidly. After a few days, I was told through the same contact through messenger, (Clifford O. Davis

or Frank Brandon), that my profits has exceeded the initial plan I purchased, (the $500 plan) and that I would need to purchase a

higher plan to get my profit return which at that time had grown to $13,800. I was told to send an additional $1,500 through cash app,

purchase that amount in bitcoin, and send it to their company address. Silly me, I did it and of course, I never received a payout. I was

in constant contact with the messenger person and was assured that I would receive a payout. On Friday, Jan 26, 2024, I got an

email from their "support team" that requested another $7,000 was needed as a "withdrawal fee" (20% of total payout which had

risen to $35,000.00) before I could get a payout. Of course, in the meantime, my son had sent me several reports of people who had

gotten scammed through this company. Unfortunately, it was too late. When I tried to report the incident to Cash App, I was told that

there was nothing they could do to get my money back. The person I talked to on the toll free number, (1-800-969-1940) actually

hung up on me.

A previous co-worker asked me to attend and informational meeting concerning crypto investing with a new company called Novatech. I attended the informational meeting and Jewell Tankard was the speaker. I thought since she was a well know person and even had a TV sitcom in the past that this option was legit. I completed the enrollment process and added money through cash app in the amount of 8,000 over a period of about 3 months. My co-worker had a enrollment specialist complete my intake. Once I started sending the money through cash app I received a statement and invoice. I received weekly invoices of returns on my investment through my email. When I went to withdraw money in March 2023, I discovered the company was under investigation and I have not had anymore contact from anyone, however the website is still up and I can see my money just sitting there.
